M. Chapoutier "Le Pavillon" Ermitage Syrah 2000

$199

Year in and year out, one of the three greatest Hermitages made is Chapoutier’s Le Pavillon. The black/blue-colored 2000 Ermitage Le Pavillon is brilliant out of bottle. Notes of graphite, ink, licorice, creme de cassis, and minerals jump from the glass of this syrup of Hermitage. Full-bodied, unctuously-textured, gorgeously rich, spectacularly concentrated and long, it is a tour de force in winemaking. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2040... Robert Parker

Blind Rhône’s from Saturday. I wanted more here. Some interesting graphite, scorched earth notes that I associate more with Graves....but the expression of fruit just wasn’t there. Dark, brooding and frankly, kinda dull right now. Perhaps in a dumb phase.

Showing so young and fresh, but needs some significant time to open up

Restrained spice aroma. Gripping tannins slowly release herbal resolution.

Wish I had bought more on the 2000 release instead of just 6 bottles :-( First time I am tasting it and it’s Stunning, can only get better as it starts to open up to show its character after 3-4 hours..

This was seriously ass-kicking awesome. In perfect shape now, great aromatics, perfect balance and outstanding texture. Real good wine, this bottle.

From a magnum bottle. Fantastic structure acidity and tannins, long finish. Beautiful complex noise with loads of pepper.
